Obama, who was attending college in Los Angeles at the time, made sure to note that he was not actually in Anaheim to visit the theme park but to see Kool and the Gang in concert.

“After the concert, you could still hang out in the park, so we went into the gondolas….I’m ashamed to say this, so close your ears, young people — but a few of us were smoking on the gondolas.”

Obama was quick to clear up any confusion when the audience started applauding.

“These were cigarettes, people! Terrible things. They'll kill you. I stopped.”
